A visit to Alabama Damascus
Yesterday a fellow-forumite (Doug Adams) and I spent the day at Alabama Damascus in Jacksonville, Alabama with Brad Vice and Lacy Smith.
Here are a few pics. This place is power-hammer heaven. Nice little forge heating up the billets. The next few are of the welding, cutting (for folding) and stretching the billets. Pattern pressing a billet. These are patterned billets ready to be ground to size. And this is the Blanchard machine they are ground on. Here are a few finished billets and blades. A few more misc. shots will be added below. |

These are a few more misc. shots that might be of some interests.
Preparing to replace a motor drive gear on one of the other hammers. A general view of the shop. A two wheeled hollow grinder that works pretty neat. Three tired old objects (two hammers and me) |
